Thunar: can't import uca.xml (custom actions menu)?

hellogoo · 2017-07-15 18:44:53

I just installed Thunar 1.6.12 (was using Thunar-extended 1.6.11 from the Arch User Repository and I'm trying to copy over my uca.xml file with my custom actions.

The file is located in ~/.config/Thunar/uca.xml but somehow Thunar doesn't load it. Adding a test action does write the right file though.

Any advice on what could be the problem?

Here's the uca.xml content:

<?xml encoding="UTF-8" version="1.0"?>

<name>Open Terminal Here</name>

Nevermind, I found the problem. This is due to the slightly different syntax in the extended version. By the way, I miss the split window feature in extended

$ strace thunar &> /tmp/thunar1.strace ; vim /tmp/thunar1.strace

stat("/home/user/.config/Thunar/uca.xml", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=4824, ...}) = 0
open("/home/user/.config/Thunar/uca.xml", O_RDONLY) = 20
fstat(20, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=4824, ...}) = 0
read(20, "<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\" version=\""..., 4824) = 4824
close(20) = 0
getpeername(2, 0x7ffcba021bb0, [128]) = -1 ENOTSOCK (Socket operation on non-socket)
futex(0x7fc1ac6bc4a8, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 2147483647) = 0
ioctl(2, TCGETS, 0x7ffcba021b90) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
getpid() = 9812
write(2, "\n(thunar:9812): thunar-uca-WARNI"..., 118

) = 118
